Moving out of the greenhouse and right onto Wisconsin Street, Mpire Exclusive opened its doors this past March and is providing hemp products to Eau Claire for medicinal purposes.

Mpire’s goal is to provide an alternative and holistic medicine to give people reprieve. They sell a variety of hemp concentrates and products, as well as brand-name edibles.

The owners – who wish to remain anonymous in this article for family reasons – said this was an exciting jump from growing hemp themselves to selling it to the public. They plan to continue working directly with regional farms to be involved from seed to sale.

An exciting addition to Mpire is their showroom. Half of their store is dedicated to display tables with a variety of hemp products like flowers and concentrates on display for customers to see and even smell.

Throughout the space are televisions that display their products, paperwork noting the legality of the products, and the labtests for the products. The owners wanted a chill and open atmosphere for customers to trust when purchasing hemp products.

“The ‘Exclusive’ (in our name) is because we are never going to have the same products. If anything, it’s going to get better and better and better,” the owners said. “We’re going to rotate everything out, so it’s very exclusive.”
